ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This painting is made by collaborating artists, Debbie Locke RWA and Sara Dudman RWA where they work in layers to explore the interface between machine and hand-made marks, whilst attempting to capture and represent the complex and interdependent working relationship between a sheep-farmer, his dog and his sheep. By using innovative technology, including webcams and GPS, combined with more traditional mediums, painterly gestures are interwoven with precise, machine-made lines, to simultaneously reveal and obliterate the depicted movements of the sheep. Though, seemingly chaotic, there is order within these turbulent scenes – patterns emerge, linking the whereabouts of the flock to the activity of the farmer and the dog. This continuous dialogue between visual coherence and the conceptual basis for the work has become a central focus, driving this collaborative layering process - whilst allowing the work to remain rooted in landscape traditions and the documentation of the farming industry.

I am delighted to have been elected as an Academician at the Royal West of England Academy (RWA) in Bristol. Since gaining a BA: (Hons) Fine Art Painting degree from UAL: Wimbledon in 2009, my work continues to be mainly drawing based, focusing on the process of 'mapping'. I'm particularly interested in exploring what transpires when something as clinical and exact as measurement, is exposed to chance and random interference. In order to do this, I employ automatic drawing machines to reinterpret the GPS data of hikers, tracing their journeys through the landscape and creating drawings as evidence of the process. By adopting, in part, a 'Heath Robinson' approach in their assembly, I can challenge the notion of the infallibility of machines which hopefully enables the resulting work to escape the confines of its initial deterministic methodology and achieve the unexpected. I also work collaboratively with the artist Sara Dudman and a farm in the Blackdown Hills, exploring and attempting to capture the working relationship between the farmer, the sheep and the dogs. By using webcam footage and GPS data recorded from the movement of the flock, multi layered paintings, drawings and limited edition prints are created from hand-made and machine-made marks.
